New Apple Watch audio and haptic alert when losing Bluetooth connection to iPhone I have a Series 4 Watch paired with an iPhone 11. Whenever the watch goes out of Bluetooth range from the phone I have been getting the usual red icon at the top of the watch face. Starting about three days ago I have also been getting an audio (two-tone descending) and haptic alert when the Bluetooth connection is lost. I find nothing on the Apple website, or anywhere else, describing this. Two questions: Is anyone else hearing and feeling this alert when losing Bluetooth connectivity? How do I turn it off? I often leave the phone on its charger when I'm in the house and moving around in the house (which we're all doing a lot of these days) I frequently lose and then regain Bluetooth connectivity. The audio and haptic alerts get annoying real fast and, while I can see that they could be useful for some, I'd like to silence them.

This sounds like a problem in signalling between watch and iPhone. I suggest you start with a forced reset on your watch and iPhone.

How to restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

If that doesn't help try unpairing and re-pairing the watch.

Thanks, I'll try that. Probably will be able to test it tonight (EST)
